As we approach our 1 year anniversary as SALON SOCIETY we have been remembering all of our favourite parts about this year and reflecting the hard stuff we've been through. It's be a DOOZY of a year, let me tell you. We've worked harder than we've ever worked before, showed up hard for our clients, friends, family and each other. Most importantly we tried to take the good with the bad and just remember that the hard things we are going through are just temporary.

Despite what the craziest first year in business had in store for us- there was always one thing that remained a constant: unwavering support from our clients, friends, family and each other. We are so damn proud of what we've been able to accomplish as a team and we wouldn't be anywhere without all of you. SO, THANK YOU!

It's very important for us to give back to all of you. For the next couple of weeks we are going to be celebrating. We can't have the big party we imagined and planned for you all- but we can say thank you in other ways. Stay tuned on instagram, facebook or through this blog to keep in touch with all we have planned!

Hello you gorgeous humans, Nadine here, and I'm thrilled to tell you about my latest obsession.I've just completed my full certification in the newest hair colour sensation "BLENDED BLONDE". This is the service all blondes have been dreaming about. A beautifully blended, lived-in, luxury hair colour that's sure to turn heads- this is not your mothers highlights!

When you sit in my chair for a "Full Blended Blonde" service, you will receive a full head of perfectly placed babylights with bright face framing pieces, paying special attention to the hairline for a perfectly seamless ponytail every time (no two-toned business here), gorgeously blended root smudge and custom toning. The service includes olaplex, a moisture treatment & my signature blowout. Option to upgrade to: "Full Blended Blonde w/ Foilayage" for the brightest effect.

Brunette? Don't worry gal pal, this service is for you too! Heard me talk about that expensive brunette we're all striving to achieve? This service suits you as well! This technique and placement can be done on ANY hair colour, it's all about the placement babe!

- FULL BLENDED BLONDE
- PARTIAL BLENDED BLONDE
- BLENDED BLONDE REFRESH
- ADD ON FOILAYAGE

*be sure to book a new client consultation before your first appointment so that we may choose the right service for you. Any questions? Hit me up on instagram!

Read this far?! THANK YOU, I'm just itching to get my hands in some hair and keep creating these killer lewks. The first 4 babes to message me on instagram and book a "FULL BLENDED BLONDE" (with or without foilayage) will receive 20% off their appointment total! WOAH MAMA! I'm booking into October right now, but will be opening up 2 days in the next couple of weeks for this service only. *Hint: you will not be able to find a time for this service before October, so messaging me on instagram is key. 

I know, I know. But there's just something about this trend that has me feeling hella creative lately! I mean, obviously I've been spending some time on TikTok during lockdown, you know.... like every other human on the planet right now. Quarantine's got us doing crazy things. Something about this trend has caught my eye, it's so fun! 

Why I love this trend so much:
- not a huge commitment, you are only lighting a small section of your hair
- when the colour fades you can try multiple different ones
- makes a statement!

I pre-ordered everything I need to make these colour dreams a reality, so if this trend is on your radar- get at me! Let's make some magic.

Things are going to be a little different around here. We wanted to get you prepared for your next appointment as best we can. These polices & procedures will be in effect as long as it's mandated by the government.

We will still be offering local delivery for all of our boutique items. You can shop online here.

OH MY GOSH! Our clients are so excited to get back in our chairs, and man oh man we are so excited too! We were hoping to have more answers and start booking all you lovely people today. However 4 days have gone by and we still don't have clarity from our government.

Here's what's holding us back:

1. In order to serve our clients we will need to wear full PPE, this includes:

• Surgical/procedural masks
• Protective eyewear
• Face shields
• Aprons (not sure yet if the ones we already own will do)

      2. We will need to source all appropriate cleaning supplies

• Lysol Wipes
• Hand Sanitizer
• Etc.

      3. We are unsure if the government is going to push our industry into Phase 3 as there isn't yet clarification on whether our licenses fall under "Cosmetologist". 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

When we open our doors to all of you beautiful humans things will not be business as usual, however we are committed to begin the booking process as soon as:

• we all have all the necessary equipment in hand
• re-opening plans are solid
• we feel 100% confident that we can safely open while maintaining the health and safety of our clients and staff
• as well as clarity on our licenses

SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Get your name on our waitlist! By signing up for our waitlist, this let's us know you are:

• 100% comfortable returning to the salon
• excited to get your hair done
• provides information on your availability
• helps keep the order of the bookings fair, provides equal opportunity to everyone

So don't panic, we've got you, and we will take care of you. #noclientleftbehind

Hello clients, friends and family,

Again we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support during the COVID-19 closure. Without your support we could have been in a much more difficult position. Your kindness has meant the world to us!

Our government has released information this morning in regards to re-opening dates. We do not have any information however about protocols, policies and procedures etc. Having our team and YOU, our community safe and comfortable is the most important thing. Right now we need much more information before we can be clear on when we will be open, and will not be taking appointments until things are more clear.

The SASO team will be meeting over the next few days to strategize our plans for when we will re-open and what that will look like. From the information we've been able to gather so far, it looks like things will be FAR from normal.

We have turned off online booking at this time to ensure we are able to re-book clients in order of clients that had appointments booked during the closure as well as clients who have been added to the waitlist.

IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE WAITLIST PLEASE ADD YOURSELF HERE.

​We've already received an overwhelming amount of messages, and we are just as excited to see you as you are to see us!! Seriously missing you all so much! However, we are going to pump the breaks for a few days here. Get a solid plan in place and then start contacting all of our clients starting next week.

Please give us grace while we navigate through the re-opening process.

All our love;

SASO Crew

I'm Nadine, the owner and one of the Master Hair Artists at Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan. I've been on a few hair journeys myself but finding the right products for my hair type was the hardest. I have that baby fine hair, which is easily damaged, and it greases up faster than most people I know. Luckily for me, I found a method that has changed *most* of that.  Today I'm going to share with you my methods of co-washing and hair training so that you too can train your hair to need less shampooing. 

I'm also going to include my tips on the do's and don'ts of hair washing when you have no other choice but wash your hair everyday. Perhaps you are physically active daily, have a job where you get dirty or are one of our frontline workers during the covid-19 pandemic crisis and need to wash your hair daily or sometimes even after every patient.
